OXIMETRYHEMOGLOBINSDIFFUSIONAccurate interpretation of carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) requires the knowledge of haemoglobin (Hb) level. Comparing the first SpHb measurement with historical Hb (n=50), SpHb level was higher by 0.47 (1.46) ( I P i =0.03), which trans...
implemented during the first wave of the pandemic), focused on monitoring patients prior to hospital admission as well as early discharge from hospital wards, delivered from primary and secondary care settings and including some element of patient recording of oxygen saturation using pulse oximetry. ...
A model (quick COVID-19 Severity Index) with 3 variables (respiratory rate, pulse oximetry, and oxygen flow rate) outperformed other models, including the quick Sequential [Sepsis-related] Organ Failure Assessment and CURB-65, on an independent validation cohort. How this might change clinical pr...
mild club foot (congenital) and stage 1 breast cancer 20 years ago. Various tests, including a chest X-ray, resting and exercise oximetry and a blood panel, were normal except for borderline vitamin D level. Her breathing questionnaire

Fio2 indicates fraction of inspired oxygen; Paco2, partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide; Pao2, partial pressure of arterial oxygen; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; PSV, pressure support ventilation; and Spo2, peripheral oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry. Figure 2. ...
Silent hypoxia has emerged as a unique feature of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we show that mucins are accumulated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of COVID-19 patients and are upregulated in the lungs of severe respirato
The availability of high-fidelity animal models for oncology research has grown enormously in recent years, enabling preclinical studies relevant to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer to be undertaken. This has led to increased opportunities
The parameters usually obtained are symptoms (shortness of breath, oedema) and signs (heart rate, type of rhythm, blood pressure, weight, and pulse oximetry), which should be monitored in the course of and post-COVID-19 period. Finally, not every patient is able to obtain specific ...
Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who progressed to severe disease, defined as the hypoxic stage requiring supplemental oxygen to maintain pulse oximetry oxygen saturation of 95% or higher. Secondary outcomes of the trial included the rates of mechanical ven...
